Sample checker finding

Proposed IEP omits parent request

What the record shows

You requested an accommodation change, but the proposed IEP does not include it or explain the refusal.

What to ask for

Put this in writing: the team should confirm if the request is refused and to provide PWN if required.

A written request you can use

Send one specific question

“Please show the changed pages in the proposed IEP, the data supporting each change, and any Prior Written Notice for requests the team is refusing.”

Document based IEP review

Check the pages you already have

The review reads the pages you upload, points to the wording behind each concern, and helps you prepare questions. It does not send anything to your school or decide a legal claim.

Common questions

What does proposed iep review check?

It checks if the proposed IEP is specific, data-backed, and connected to the IEP sections that should guide services, supports, progress, or school decisions.

What should I look at first?

Start with the current IEP page tied to the concern, then compare it with the most recent evaluation, progress report, service log, school notice, or email that explains what happened.

What should I ask the school if something is missing?

Put the request in writing for the specific missing data, page, service detail, or written decision. Keep the request narrow so the school can answer it clearly.
